Few herbs have a more distinguished history than aloe. It originated in Africa, but the use of aloe can be traced all the way back to Cleopatra. It has the rare distinction of once appearing on a postage stamp in the Soviet Union.

For thousands of years, this popular herb has been cherished around the world for its calming and restorative properties. Aloe (sometimes Alo) is actually a large family of about 400 flowering succulent plants.

The most common of these and the best known is aloe vera. Most species of aloe have a circular cluster of leaves (called a rosette) which radiate out from the center. In most aloe plants, the rosette is at or near the ground. Aloe is a perennial and can grow leaves up to two feet in length.

Benefits

Aloe has been used around the world for many purposes, but in the United States and other Western countries, its use as an herbal treatment became popular in the 1950s. Part of that popularity came from its application to sunburn. Other forms of aloe gel or juice were used for their soothing and regenerative properties.
